Quarantine is not an excuse to remain inactive. Every day we offer you a session to do at home in order to arrive in great shape when resuming padel.

Today, we are going to work on our mobility, even if first of all we think about building up our legs or improving our cardio to progress in padel, mobility is a parameter that should not really be overlooked. In fact, the more mobile you are, the less difficult it will be for you to bend down to bring up balls in defense, to relax to go get tall balls etc.

First we will focus on the hip mobility. The hips are very strained padel, with the multiple flexions, and in general, modern man, who spends a lot of time sitting, finds himself with very short psoas, often even contracted, and not sufficiently developed buttocks.

In order to reduce all these imbalances and therefore limit the risk of injury, improve recovery and efficiency on the track, we recommend this video of Christophe Carrio, the master of towed mobilizations and self-massages. The author of the book “A body without pain” is a specialist in mobility issues. He offers 5 exercises in this video to make at home with an elastic, after self-massage, which you can do using a roller or a tennis ball for example.

Remember to perform well each exercise for each leg. If you do this work regularly and seriously, you should soon notice a marked improvement. To achieve without moderation!
